DUP European Gathering 2025

Version française

Organised by the Dances of Universal Peace, France, this sacred gathering will take place in the South of France, in Bécours, Aveyron, from August 10 to 17, 2025.

This inaugural European camp, set in the embrace of summer’s warmth, is a momentous occasion! Our intention is to raise above our differences and co-create a radiant beacon of love, harmony, and beauty. Dance leaders from all corners of Europe will unite in guiding us throughout the week.

Born from the heart of France, it will journey to other European countries in the years to follow, where the call to continue this sacred tradition will be embraced.

We invite all souls, of every age, to join us in this gathering of unity and peace.

Vision

This gathering of our great family of the Dances of Universal Peace is the manifestation of a long held dream, and is above all a message of Love among all people.

The whole European family and beyond (dance leaders, dancers, musicians) are invited to join together to sing and dance for Peace, and also to meet each other, strengthen the bonds between us and share our experiences and talents.

We wish to unite across our differences to co-create a vibrant beacon of Love, Harmony and Peace.

A wonderful union of all our creative energies that will radiate far beyond our Circle.

We would love for you to join us!

Our leaders

Six mentors, who have become known as our “lighthouse” or “holding group” will uphold the spiritual vision of this gathering, providing energetic and spiritual support as guardians of the sacred space. Dance leaders present at the gathering will be invited to lead dances that will take participants on a journey through a variety of traditions throughout the week.

Our Musicians

An ensemble of talented musicians, coordinated by two dedicated leaders, will support the dances and dancers, amplifying the unique energy of each movement. Their harmonies will guide voices and steps, creating a vibrant tapestry of sound.

Our co-ordinators : Solène, Julien

Workshops and Development

A creative space will be available for mentored leaders, musicians, and dancers to experiment and explore their voice, guidance, and music, with opportunities for feedback.

Morning sessions will include meditation, yoga, and body awakening practices. Voice, dance, and music workshops, as well as other activities, will enrich the daily schedule. A detailed program will be displayed at the « info point » each day.

Children and Teens

The spirit of the dances will be interwoven into our children and teen program at the camp.

There will also be dedicated spaces for children during dance sessions, supervised by volunteers. Teenagers will be encouraged to co-create their camp and activities together, alongside adults.
